Three-dot ellipsis

Plugin rule colour. Read the rule name as well as the dot.

Avellio notices: Three separate dots occur in a context worth reviewing.

Example to inspect: Wait...

Possible editorial outcome: Wait…

Why review it: An ellipsis character and three independent dots have different spacing and editorial roles.

When to keep or investigate: Leaders, code, literal patterns and quoted source material can intentionally contain separate dots.

Verify: inspect the edited text again with the intended scope and policy. Check meaning and nearby composition; a review status alone does not prove a correction.

Longer dot sequences receive contextual advice. Teaching example: Found ... → Suggested …. This recommendation does not edit text; verify context, make a deliberate change in InDesign if appropriate, then inspect again.
